I am attempting to use Hibernate with JSF/Facelets on the JBoss AS. When the application attempts to build the Hibernate Session Factory an error is thrown "Could not obtain connection metadata", yet the driver is listed a few lines eariler in the log. Here is the relevent lines from the log and then the Hibernate configuration file. : | | 10:13:20,146 INFO [Configuration] configuring from resource: /hibernate.cfg.xml | 10:13:20,146 INFO
